Today, I was at a pet store cuddling an apparently overaggressive chinchilla when it decided to bite me and run out of my hands. It is now nowhere to be found and I have to pay for it. FML

Why would you cuddle any animal in a pet store? You don't "cuddle" any animal that has had absolutely no time to bond with you, especially a pet store animal that isn't used to being handled. Chinchillas are rodents, and like most rodents, they need to chew constantly to keep their teeth ground down. It's a natural behavior, not an overly aggressive one. It's your own fault for messing with any animal that has not been conditioned to being handled by humans.

Dude, that sucks. Chinchillas are expensive.

I love chinchillas..... just thought everyone should know.

My 4th grade teacher had a chinchilla like that it would sit in a corner if her cage fir hours gnawing on wood. I read that if chinchillas spend a lot of time keeping still that was a bad sign and a vet should check it out. I probably should have told her that

<p>Not a chance. &nbsp;I'd make the pet store pay for the doctor bill for the bite (you should definitely get an animal bite, especially from a rodent, looked at). &nbsp;Then I'd tell them they could find their own rat, because if they find the damn thing, they won't give you your money back. &nbsp;They will sell the chinchilla. &nbsp;That's what they have insurance for. &nbsp;</p>

I'm sure there were signs telling you not to pick up the animals.
